Google brings local payment for Android apps to Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia

android 520x245 Google brings local payment for Android apps to Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia

Update: To clarify our earlier report, Google has rolled local payments for developers in four countries — the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia — not 25 countries. The other countries have been given the option to set prices in their local currency, while developers based in *some* of them can use local payment options.

Google has added local payment support for Android apps in a 25 new countries. The important move will not only allow users in these countries to buy apps and in-app content in their local currency, but also enables developers to monetize their apps more efficiently.

The addition of the new countries — spotted by Android Police — comes less than a week after the story of one developer from Croatia and his issues with payments gained prominence among developer circles. Goran Kukurin, who is behind Worldscope Webcams, had his app removed from Google Play because it was using PayPal to let users upgrade to an ad-free experience.

PayPal, and other payment systems, are barred from Android apps but, as he explained last week, Kukurin was not eligible to offer payments in his local currency so he opted for a third party:

The official reason was a violation of a developer distribution agreement – we have offered to our users a possibility to remove ads by buying a registration code via PayPal. Buying Ad-free version via Google play store was not possible, because our country is not on the list of supported locations for merchants which are allowed to sell paid applications on Google store.

Worldscope Webcams has since been reinstated but the issue is now fixed for Kukurin — Croatia is on the list. the issue not fixed for Kukurin because Croatia is not on the list. However, Android developers in Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia can now reach users in over 130 countries with paid-for apps, in addition to free apps, as Google points out.

The full list of countries with the option to set prices in their local currency is as follows, some but not all already have local payment options for developers:

Australia, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Egypt, Indonesia, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Romania, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Venezuela and Vietnam.

Bitcoin plunges as exchange Mt. Gox pauses all withdrawals due to technical issues

167578473 520x245 Bitcoin plunges as exchange Mt. Gox pauses all withdrawals due to technical issues

Mt. Gox, one of the world’s biggest Bitcoin trading exchanges, has temporarily suspended all Bitcoin withdrawals with immediate effect as the team seeks to resolve technical issues experienced by some users while withdrawing Bitcoin.

The exchange says that the increase in withdrawal traffic was “hindering” its efforts on a technical level, and to “get a better look at the process the system needs to be in a static state.”

In order for our team to resolve the withdrawal issue it is necessary to temporarily pause all withdrawal traffic to obtain a clear technical view of the current processes.

Mt. Gox says withdrawals waiting to be processed will be returned to users’ wallets and can be re-initiated once it has resolved the technical issues. Customers can still use the trading platform as per usual.

The company will provide an update on Monday as it works through the weekend to resolve the problems.

Consequently, the price of Bitcoin has dropped. According to BitcoinWisdom, Bitcoin hit $619 at its lowest point today, from about $783 just 12 hours ago. It has started to rise slowly again — but is still far from the price it recorded yesterday.

Japan-based Mt. Gox is a service that allows Internet users to trade real-world currency for Bitcoin and vice-versa, but it has been beset with growing pains due to its popularity. The company suspended US dollar trading for two weeks in June and July last year to improve its service, and has suffered a number of DDoS attacks in the past — it was even forced to halt trading in April following a major Bitcoin price crash.

Subsequently in August, Mt. Gox announced that its service was running on Akamai, a move that it hoped could bring greater stability to the growing platform.

Posted In: Around the Web, Google, Olympics

Google has taken a shot at Russia’s controversial anti-gay law by expressing its support for LGBT olympians in its latest doodle commemorating the Winter Games.

Screen shot 2014 02 07 at PM 12.51.55 Google takes a shot at Russias anti gay law with new doodle for Sochi Winter Games The color of the doodle, which features images of athletes in various Winter Games events, is modeled after the Rainbow Flag — a symbol of LGBT pride. The doodle also quotes the Olympic Charter as saying that there should be no “discrimination of any kind” in the Olympic games — and is linked to search results for the set of rules and guidelines governing the Olympic games.
